Cover art picture is of Mum & Brian, taken in 1949.

My Mum requested that, at her funeral(today, 16 January 2022, being the third anniversary), our sisterJayne and her children made arrangements to cover her coffin in pink roses as a sign to everybody that we should celebrate her life and not mourn her death.  They found a casket with a pink rose design too, which would have pleased her even more.  She wanted to be remembered for the good times she had with her family and many close friends.  Mum enjoyed parties and celebrations a great deal.

In writing the song, I wanted to represent all the important parts of Mum's life to help us to remember what an incredibly generous person she was,  always there to help those who needed some extra love and attention.  We grew up in a house that was somewhere our friends and neighbours could always turn to if they needed help. Throughout our lives it wasn't at all unusual to wake up in the morning to find someone who needed refuge asleep on the sofa.  Neighbours' children would join us for meals on a regular basis and Mum made sure there was always plenty to go round..

At the funeral itself, as the chorus explains, I felt so uncomfortably exposed, standing at the front with all eyes seemingly looking at me, gauging every reaction. I think Jayne and Gal felt much the same if truth be told.  Even with my wife and children there to support me, it was one of those moments in life I don't think any of us ever really wants to face. 

We will certainly never forget our wonderful Mum and all the things she did for us.  She always made special times just a bit more special, going that extra mile so that the memories would last a lifetime.

I felt it was particularly important to write this song for my sister, who was the main carer for my Mum in the latter years of her life and dealt with all the difficulties with so much love, care and strength.  This song is for you Jayne, with all our love. 

As always, we give our heartfelt thanks to Hans for producing an arrangement so in keeping with the spirit of the song and the occasion it marks.
Thank you everyone for all your support.  (Terry Reeves)

One thousand pink Roses to light the flame
One thousand reasons making you live again
One thousand regrets as we all stand still 
One thought of sadness makes this moment so real.

I don’t wanna be here for all to see   X2

Five hundred stories to make you live again
Five hundred dresses in a beautiful frame
Five hundred presents for your many friends
One single moment, our love will never end

I don’t wanna be here for all to see. X2

One hundred whispers hiding words of truth
One hundred wishes turning magic loose 
One hundred kisses for children who sing
Only one person could make hearts ring

I don't wanna be here for all to see.     X4

Only one mother helps grow with a laugh
Only one mother puts smiles in every photograph
Only one mother gives when others take
Our family love you never stopped trying to make 

I will always be here for you and me
I will always be here for you and me...
I will always be
Here for you

The flower that she was way back when
Grew into the woman she is today
I loved her from afar, Lord
Then, she offered me…….
a warm place to stay
We never looked back 
Our Love, it’s found a way
Time has been most kind
And, it’s brought us here today
I wish the days could be longer
And…..the feeling’s growing stronger
As we move along our way
For the Flower that she was
Is the woman
She is today
The time left in our Lives, Lord
Falling more and more in love 
Each and every day
Falling more and more in love
Each and Every Day

On Your Heels

On Your Heels by Jason Mowry & Calos Vivanco

Smooth Heartbreaker

Fangor was good
Fangor was kind
Fangor’s teeth grew
All the time.

Fangor filed his teeth
Late at night
Didn’t like anyone
Sharing this sight.

Fangor was kind
Fangor was good
Couldn’t make friends
In the neighbourhood.

 
People avoided
Fangor in the street
Perhaps his smile
Was too complete.

Fangor liked flowers
Fangor liked fun
Fangor enjoyed making
People run.

When Fangor smiled
His smile grew and grew
At other times just a boy
That no one knew.

Fangor was good
Fangor was kind
Fangor’s teeth grew
All the time.
